Sony Commits Future MMOs to Consoles

2
Sony Online Entertainment executive John Smedley has said "yes" to all future Sony MMO games being on PlayStation systems.

"It's been a new experience for us because - well, we've done one console MMO," stated Smedley on Sony's previous massively-multiplayer online game. "We're actually one of two companies in the world that's ever done a console MMO. We had EverQuest Online Adventures for the PS2 - still operating. It and Final Fantasy XI are the only actual MMOs."

Sony looks to be pushing into the Blizzard-dominated, PC-centric market of MMOs by trying to convert console gamers into more dedicated players who might be willing pay for subscriptions or, better yet, micro-transactions for free games like Sony's Free Realm coming in six months.

Brilliant news. Was a PC gamer for many years before moving to a PS3. Was a avid wow player in a very successful raiding guild for 3 years off wow and wow burning crusade expansion releases. Also was a regular on the Guildwars series play. Never played the everquest games so hope they come to the PS3 and the LOTR online game i brought that and that wasnt so good so not bothered about that game.
